Tuning Forks
Manufacturer may vary
Available in: (128Hz/CPS - Weighted), (256Hz/CPS - Weighted) and (512Hz/CPS - Unweighted)
DESCRIPTION:
Tuning Forks are precision-crafted diagnostic tools designed for reliable assessment in sports-medicine, orthopedic, neurological, and general medical settings. Manufactured from high-quality, non-magnetic aluminum alloy, these forks deliver consistent frequency output, long-lasting vibration, and dependable accuracy essential for clinical evaluation.
-
128Hz/CPS:
Ideal for vibratory sensation testing, fracture screening, and peripheral neuropathy assessments. Commonly used in sports medicine to help identify potential bone stress injuries and nerve impairment -
256Hz/CPS:
A versatile mid-range fork used for hearing screening (Weber & Rinne) and general vibratory sensation testing. Provides balanced amplitude and resonance suited for multi-disciplinary clinical environments -
512Hz/CPS:
Standard for air conduction hearing assessments, producing a clear, sustained tone optimized for auditory evaluation without low-frequency tactile vibration
WEIGHTED:
- Feature medical-grade weights at the tine ends for enhanced amplitude and longer sustain
- Preferred in neurological exams and sports-medicine vibration testing, where prolonged vibration facilitates detection of subtle sensory deficits
- Useful for assessing peripheral nerve function, vibration thresholds, and circulatory or neuropathic changes common in athletic overuse injuries
UNWEIGHTED:
- Deliver a cleaner, faster-decaying vibration, optimal for auditory screenings and more precise frequency discrimination tests
- Frequently used in ENT, hearing exams, and quick, routine field-side neurological checks
